Plug-in Control

Even if every room in your home is lit with recessed lights, chandeliers and wall sconces, chances are, you still have a table lamp or two.
Insteon Plug-in Modules let you add remote control of all of these "less sophisticated" plug-in apparati.

Remote Control

While our plug-in modules do feature embedded on and off buttons, you don't really want
to reach behind the couch to turn on a lamp. Thanks to Insteon, you can control your
connected lamps and appliances from any wall switch, keypad, sensor - or even your smartphone
when used with the
Insteon Hub.

Sensor Control

You might not have thought about it, but a good deal of your plug-in appliances become
quite handy when automated. Automatically control table lamps with a
Motion Sensor.
Use
Open/Close Sensors to automatically turn on & off lamps when a door is opened & closed.

On/Off or Dimming

No matter what you want to control, there is an Insteon Plug-in Module for your needs. Dimming,
On/Off and
Outdoor On/Off modules are available to control everything from lava lamps in
your parlor to holiday decorations in freezing rain.

Plug-in In-Line Control

Setup of your Insteon Plug-in device couldn't be easier. All you have to do is connect
your lamp's power cord to the outlet on the bottom of the Insteon module and then
connect the Insteon module to a regular unswitched power outlet.

Buttons When You Need Them

If you need to turn your connected device on or off when your remote controls aren't
handy, you can just tap the up or down arrows on the side. Chances are, you'll find
your Insteon Wall Switch or Smartphone a better remote control, though.

Load Sense

With LoadSense technology, your Dimmer Module can detect when you turn on a connected
lamp or appliance and automatically turn on other Insteon devices throughout your home;
your table lamp just became an Insteon switch.

Bring Your Own Plug-In Lamp

Home control doesn't need to conflict with your décor; sophisticated or contemporary, elegant
or wacky, Insteon Plug-In modules let you bring any plug-in lamp to the home automation party.
It doesn't matter if you want to use Grandma's generations-old Tiffany lamp or a brand new,
mass-produced objet d'art, if it has a power cord, Insteon Plug-in modules give you the power
of remote control.

Custom On-Level

Not every room needs to be bright all the time. With Dimmer Module,
a customizable On-Level lets you pick how bright your lamp is when
you turn it on. Set the brightness to be anywhere from 1- to 100%.

Programmable Ramp Rate

The days of being startled by instantaneous bright light are gone. Ramp Rates with
Dimmer Module let you specify how quickly or slowly a lamp turns on. Slowly brighten
from off to on over the course of 0.1 seconds to 8 minutes.

Complete Scene Support

Control multiple lights or appliances from a single button with Scenes. With Dimmer
Module, scenes let you gracefully fade lights in and out, combining the benefits
of both preset On-Levels and Ramp Rates.

Smartphone Remote Control

Add the Insteon Hub to the mix and you can control your Plug-in devices from your
smartphone or tablet. And then some.

Remote Control

Whatever you have connected to your Plug-in module, control it from your smartphone
with the Insteon Hub.
Home or away, it doesn't matter when your smartphone is always at your side.

Scenes

Next time the in-laws visit, wow them with your automation skills by creating scenes
for dining, entertaining - even a special "midnight snack" button that illuminates just
the lights they will need to find the kitchen after dark.

Schedules

One-up the Jones this year when you put out your holiday decorations. With Insteon, all
of your outdoor lights will turn on at sunset in perfect unison - that means you can
look professional while still going overboard.

Configure

You can always configure On-Level and Ramp Rate using the set button on your device,
but it's so much better when you add a smartphone to help manage all of the hidden
features your devices include.

Remote control from another Insteon device.

Let convenience be your mantra and use the power of Insteon to automate home. Whether it's
as simple as using a Wireless Switch to turn on your space heater or as elaborate as
sensor-triggered automatic activation, Insteon is your tool.

I'm gradually moving from x10 to Insteon, which is much quicker and more reliable... these came with a new hub (mine died). Recommend you be sure to document your entire setup in a spreadsheet - not much is retrievable if your hub dies. Anyway, the modules work fine but can be finicky to set up with dimming. I think Insteon could start reducing their price and make the components more affordable to the average user.

Note to R Carlson - add a small 7w night light to the circuit with your LED tree lights and they'll work fine.

First, let me say that the switches work very well, but with the important caveat, that you must use either standard incandescent bulbs or dimmable led's. Not all led bulbs are dimmable.. Additionally, the buy get one price is misleading. You can usually buy one for 49.99, so this promotion simply gets you to buy two dimmers instead of one--at the regular selling price.

I've been a long time user of Smarthome automation products. X10 worked but it was never consistent. The newer Insteon products have worked consistently and reliably for over two years. (Except for the sprinkler controller which I have replaced twice). I have 6 of these plug-in lamp dimmers and all are working perfectly.

THESE DON'T WORK WITH LED CHRISTMAS LIGHTS Review by ROBERT CARLSON M.D.

THESE DON'T WORK WITH LED CHRISTMAS LIGHTSROBERT CARLSON M.D.

For some reason, the lamp dimmer modules do not work properly with some LEDs such as Christmas Tree lights. They turn the lights on OK, but do not turn them off all the way, leaving them dimly glowing.

I confirmed this with customer support. They said it had something to do with the lights not drawing enough power. They suggested buying yet another module which is only ON/OFF and not a dimmer. However, this module made the LEDs flicker.

I was finally able to get the lights to turn off and on properly using the Outdoor Switch (green) module, which has a real ON/OFF relay, rather than a electronic switch.

All in all, it was a lot more hassle than I expected, and they didn't make this limitation clear in their advertisements.
